The Lucky Tiger liquid cream shave is a glycerin-based shave cream, but not your typical glycerin shaving cream. The Lucky Tiger liquid shaving cream is a lighter shaving cream that doesn’t produce a huge lather, but more of a soft (liquidlike) shave cream. The first time I tried this, I used my brush and bowl...

Yes, you’re seeing right: cartridge razors. Anyone who has been to this website more than a few times knows that I really don’t like cartridge razors, in general. The process is bland, the long-term costs are high, and there’s just something timeless about a double-edge razor. However, there are still plenty of guys in the...

Some guys use aftershave, some guys go for balms. Both methods have their pros and cons, but all guys should one of them.

In June, we reviewed the Crown Shaving Co. After Shave Tonic, and overall it was a hit. I still use this as my regular aftershave because I love its awesome scent and old-fashioned simplicity. As promised a few months ago, we have another bottle to give away. So, here’s the deal: the contest will start...

What makes Crown Shaving Co. so great is that they use their...

Getting to shave with Proraso shaving cream is a complete and total treat. Proraso was founded in 1930’s Italy, and their formula has remained largely unchanged over the past 80 years. While longevity doesn’t always mean superiority, in this case, it does. This shaving cream is the menthol experience to the extreme. For this reason,...

We were paid to write this article, but Nivea for Men did not have any editorial say in the finished piece, and only gave minimal direction on form and theme. One of the most common reasons men hate shaving,...

This is the Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set, and it comes with everything shown in the image above. The word “premium” is probably just for branding, because I’m not quite sure this is the absolute best shaving setup I’ve used. However, this is a fantastic set for starters and at only $10 you can’t beat...

I’ve reviewed a lot of stuff from Anthony Logistics over the past week or so, and for good reason. Not only did they send me a huge box of stuff, but they have a reputation of being one of the better grooming product companies on the market. The Anthony Logistics Shave Cream is no exception...

Dermalogica is a new brand to me, and I was intrigued by their heavy use of dermatological research. Interested to know more, I decided to reach out and try some samples. The Dermalogica Invigorating Shave Gel was my first introduction to Dermalogica, and it was a pretty good first impression. In the video below, you can...
